O.k. for everyone who's traying to Flash in Vista
Donwload the files from this link: http://rapidshare.com/files/38401715/Manual_and_files.rar.html
and extract them in a new created folder like for example your desktop. Extract the USB Modem Vista in a different folder on your desktop (easy to find)
- put your device in bootloader mode (press and hold power, light and softreset button)
- connect the MDA to your computer.
- open computer management (devicemanager) in vista, rightclick computer in startmenu and select manage (see step 1)
- in computermanager open devicemanager (step 2)
- follow step 3 and 4.
After step 4 browse to the folder where you extracted the USB Modem Vista and choose next.
It will install the active sync drivers to vista and you will be able to flash.
I attached a exit bootloader file to exit bootloader mode (you can also install drivers without flashing the device)
YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO EXIT BOOTLOADER MODE!!!! EVEN BEVORE FLASHING!!!!
If you do it properly it will be done in less than 4 minutes.
Good luck.

I know what you mean, I could finally use only vista as o.s.

Nope. In Vista with current drivers and updates the driver cannot be updated to an older one; neither in bootloader mode (uknown USB device) nor in standard mode (PocketPC).
vjj
Don't hate if you're a noob With Vista
Download my package and see for yourself mate!
I run Vista Business for almost 6 months and I'm flashing trough Vista for quite a long time now. Even now after upgrading the Windows Mobile Device Center.
So as far as I know your post is based on nonsence!!!
As I've said many many times, you have to do it exacly the way I wrote it.
Pro to noob
for your info, I've been using Vista for about two years.
building and flashing ROMs for 3 years now.
I do not argue with possibility to flash ROM in Vista.
I do argue with possibility to use your instruction universaly in all standard Vista installations.
I've seen and tried both possibilities myself.
Universal in boot mode:
"The best driver software for your device is already installed.
Windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date.
Uknown Device."
Have you ever seen this message? I doubt.
I've seen that message when you don't do it correctly.
I'm not going to discuss with you if it works or not. And as far as being a pro... been working at microsoft for 6 years. Cheers mate! and good luck flashing building or whatever it is that you do.
Nonesence Again.

I was using vista since beta1, and i have been using WMDC since its beta stages. And i do have to confirm the method with updating your drivers with AS ones works Perfectly. Try again, but dont search for drivers, update it manualy, AND, dont forget to untick ALLOW USB CONNECTION in WMDC before pluging in a bootloaded device. That really does work a charm.
But what about Vista 64 version? This driver don't want to install on Vista 64...

Has anyone found a way to install wmdc on windows 7? I just can't do it.. the cd that came with my td2 fails at install.. and the downloaded version, well, nothing ever happens I've even tried running as admin, compatibility with vista, and don't even have my AV nor UAC enabled.
why don't you just download the latest version from Microsoft? I run Win7 and didn't experience any trouble.

i'm guessing because he is unable to pass genuine validation...some people cant/wont buy windows...
Theoretically speaking if he's running a non genuine Windows 7 I'm pretty sure he activated it with one of dozens of existing tricks (otherwise why installing it, for a month usage?). He would then pass validation easily.
Downloading the one from Microsoft worked perfectly for me
Simply connect TD2 to your PC and run windows update.
Hi all,
It's been a while, but I am back with HD2. I have a problem. I have win7 business on all off my computers, I instaled latest activesync, but I keep getting error connection. When installing drivers, I get the unknown device, so instalation failed.
Not even bluetooth recognition works.
Any suggestions, please?

If you are using Windows 7 Business, I would guess you mean you are using Windows Mobile Device Center, yes? In Windows Device Manager are you set up to automatically download drivers? Are you getting any errors in the Sync Center? There is a lot of information you have to supply before anyone can troubleshoot the problem you are having.
There are a lot of steps you can take, most of which you can find by doing a search of XDA. If that fails, then come back with a more detailed explanation of what you have done, and people will try to help troubleshoot for you.
Thanks for looking,
and yes I have been searching a lot for information allready before I made a new thread.
I have win7 business and yes it does download drivers automaticly.
I will try and search for manual driver setup, but would be very thankful if any of you could give me some hints.

In Device Manager you can click on Portable Devices and see if you see your HD2 there, if you do, then right click on it. You can find options to manually install drivers. If that does not work, in the Mobile Device Center you can configure how the center is supposed to connect to your HD2. Have you tried that yet? Also, make sure you are not using a USB hub for connections. You can try changing USB ports to try to reinstall drivers.
I am trying hard, this is the error I get:
P.S.: in activesync all options are on, so no problems there, but I have tried all of them.
In that case, try uninstalling the device in Device Manager, and starting over again. It does seem to be a driver problem. Another trick you can try is on the HD2, under Settings, USB to PC, try unticking Enable advanced network functionality, and then try to reinstall the drivers.
Another thing you can try is deleting the partnership in Windows Mobile Device Center and creating a new partnership.
Is there a wa I could find the driver somewhere and install it myself?
Not beeing able to find the right one...

In the Leo ROM forum the thread on MTTY has some Windows 7 drivers you can download I believe, but that will take awhile.
Are you using Win7 32 or 64 bit?
win7 32 bit. I tried to download them through windows update, but I got an error as well.
So I am on a quest for drivers....

If you are familiar with computers, you can try this with Win7 drivers you download for HD2.
You did try uninstalling your device in Device Manager, and trying another USB port to install it on? It seems really odd that Win7 is not finding the right drivers for you, and that persists even after you uninstall and reinstall the device.
No luck so far, any more ideas?
Update:
I tried the same thing on another laptop, same specs, same win7 business, worked like a charm.
So must be this win7 problem I think. Any ideas what to do? I can't remove mobile device center, so I could try and reinstall it. The icons stay in my control panel.
Anybody?
I just can't imagine this is only happening to me.

Did you have any luck yet in solving the problem?
Nope my dear helper,
I found out this is windows7 problem. I still get the first error can't install device driver, because the device is not installed on the computer.
Something must be wrong, but I was getting a head, network driver installed fine, windows mobile device program runs fine, I made a clean install with register delete etc...
I just can' seem to find this to work.
i had some problem the first time i plugged my HD2 on win7 64 ultim.
nothing happened, no activesync, no nothing...
i opened sync center, nothing...
windows updates found me windows mobile device center with upgrade devices, the thing installed but all still worked bad, impossible to activesync, no driver for my HD2, and i know nothing about phones and windows, it's my first windows mobile.
so after hours of fighting, i decided to DL the app windows mobile device center on microsoft download website, then i installed the thing and oh miracle, my HD2 was detected, the app Win M D Center was asking me now with the pic of my hd2 in the prog to chose between settings as the first thing installed by windows update always froze at win mob device center splash screen...
i resume here but it took me the all afternoon to finally resolve this problem.
something went wrong with windows update install and to reinstall the all app was the easy way to fix the activesync problem.
If you did already re-download Windows Mobile Device Center and that did not work on the one recalcitrant computer, maybe you might need to update your BIOS or download the latest drivers for you motherboard. Sometimes problems can crop up if the computer does not have the most updated BIOS and motherboard drivers. How old is the computer you are using?
Well, after calling microsoft support and HTC support and doing for 36 hours nothing but trying I finally reinstalled my hole system. So new clean install of windows 7 business and it works like acharm. Where did it went wrong, I don't know, there had to be some register issue I think. Windows mobile center worked ok, the connection with the phone worked, but just not recognizing the device. Well I would of done the instalation sooner, If I knew this one is gonna be so hard to do.

Well, glad you finally solved your problem, and that this time the blame was not just placed on HTC or the Leo. Sad though that you had to go through so much to get the darn thing to work. I just installed a new operating system for my neighbor, and there is still more work to do on it. Not a fun thing to do.
Hello all,
I'd really appreciate some help.
Just recently I notice that my HTC HD2 is no longer recognized by WMDC on my machine (a Windows 7 64bits). Initially I checked various internet sources for possible problems with WMDC setup, nothing worked. Then I tried to link between a Tytn II on the same machine, WMDC recognizes the connection, and was able to establish the link. So it looks my WMDC on the desktop is functioning appropriately.
When I use the USB cable to link the desktop with HTC HD2, the mobile is being charged. But there is simply no link so I have not been able to perform syncs. I even try to uninstall My Mobile Remote Adapter, and I saw the desktop was able to reinstall My Mobile Remote Adapter. Unfortunately WMDC still does not recognize the mobile.
Thank you all in advance.

My HD2 also stopped syncing with WMDC some time ago, both in my home and work machines... Both with windows 7 (on is x64 other is x86). So I think it could be some windows update... ?
I've disabled the "Enable faster data synchronization" thing and it works, but it is slow.
This happens every now and then for me, too. Usually, rebooting the computer fixes it, so, if you haven't done that, do it. Another thing to try is connecting your HD2 to a different USB port, as that can trigger a redetection. Also, it's worth taking a look at "Optional Updates" in Windows Update, since you may find a WMDC update there that was added when you plugged the device in.
Tried both methods but still to no avail
Hello Osprey00, and DeadVirus:
Many thanks.
I tried many a thing. Rebooting, and soft reset HD2, I installed almost every optional update except language packages, I also disabled the "Enable faster data synchronization" option. Unfortunately so far nothing is clicking. This is getting me frustrated.
So I appreciate all the help I can get and also would like to invite more friends to tip in. Sincere appreciations in advance.

WMDC
You have to download from microsoft "drvupdate-x86" file.

I had the same problem and took me a while to fix it. I am constantly flashing customs Roms and always sync my contacts and calendar entries after flashing. After a few flashes, WMDC stopped recognising my phone. At the time i didn't do a Task29 before flashing and i think that was confusing my pc (don't ask me how!!)
Anyway, i did a Task29, flashed the rom and it has worked everytime since. Dunno if this will solve your problem but its worth a try
I'm also on Win 7 HP 64 and I always use task 29 before updating the roms (about once a week) and I never have this issue, so it may well be worth running task 29 and flashing again
SOLUTION
I had this and it ruined my life until I followed instructions on this thrtead. Loads up all the drivers you need and no problems since!!

Heyy I had same problem some weeks ago, I read there is a problem between windows 7 64bits and WMDC.. after try a lot of things, I erased WMDC and reinstall WMDC 32bits.. (My PC is 64bits.. and I couldn´t install 64 bits..). and it works !!

John,
Thanks. The more I read about this thread, the more confused I have become. It seems to have something to do with Task 29 as another friend suggested. Best wishes.
I just want to know, I have little to no access to a Win 7 computer, only a windows xp machine, is it possible for me to unlock my HD2 with WP7 on windows XP?
Im not new when it comes to unlocking, rooting, jailbreaking, w/e you want to call it with different devices, but this has me completely stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Even if Chevron starts in XP SP3, it will not work on unlocking your phone, you need Vista or W7 for it (and still it is a pain in the butt)...
I could not unlock my phone with chevon in XP SP3 (tried for several hours to figure out a solution). Switched to windows 7 and chevon unlocked my phone with no problems. +1 to switch to vista or windows 7 pc for unlocking your phone.
